4.2 Refiner Processes

Somewhat later, Sunds Defibrator (today Metso) developed the RGP CD (= conical

disc) system. Conical-disc refiners have a single-disc refining gap followed by

a conical refining gap inside one refiner housing (Fig. 4.30).

The latest developments on the market are cylindrical refiners; the Papillon™

(Andritz) (Fig. 4.31) incorporates the advantages of hollaender beating with the

continuous refiner principle. Also available are multiconical refiners; an example

is the TriConic® (Pilгo) (Fig. 4.32), which is a medium-angle, double-flow conical

refiner with a low refining intensity and low no-load.

4 Mechanical Pulping Processes

The working principle of mechanical pulp refiners is explained by means of the

double disc concept in Fig. 4.33. The pulp is treated between two refiner discs,

enters in the center at the shaft, and passes the discs from center to side. Refining

plates constructed from high-strength steel and with different profiles are

mounted on the refiner discs, which are pressed together hydraulically. The refining

gap has an important influence on mechanical pulp quality.

An overview of the design of selected refiner types is provided in Tab. 4.3.

Refiner plates are the “heart” of the refining process. The type of refiner plate

design chosen is specified for a certain pulp quality and depends on the requirements

of the paper machine. These depend on the type of paper produced and on

the control strategy of the paper machine. Varying refiner positions (1st stage, 2nd

stage, reject) also require different refiner plate designs. Refiner plate designs are

always under further development, and some selected examples of actual plate

design are illustrated in Fig. 4.34. Bi-directional refiner plates are standard in

TMP production, and perform independently of the direction of rotation of the

refiner. Turbine™ segments are the latest development by Metso Paper for the

conical disc refiner RGP 82 CD (see Fig. 4.30); this system operates at low pressure

during chip defibration stage, and this results in improved optical properties

of the refined pulp.
